Usage notes[edit]
- Unlike most Spanish prepositions, según governs the nominative and not the prepositional case with pronouns. Thus:
- según yo ― according to me
- según tú ― according to you
- Regional colloquial usage of the preposition según as an adverbial phrase when followed by que expresses evidential mood, indicating hearsay or non-commitment (meaning roughly "supposedly" or "it is said").
- Según que tiene SIDA. — "They say that he has AIDS."
